Meet the Authors Series - Architects of Memory

Description

In this talk, Nathan R. Johnson discusses how post-World World War II memory technologies and techniques transformed the disciplines of librarianship and information science. He describes both familiar and esoteric memory technologies—from the card catalog to the book cart to Zatocoding and keyword indexing—as he argues that rhetorical theory provides a critical corrective for the collection, classification, storage, retrieval, distribution, and preservation of information.
